'Press' has previously been used as onomatopoeia, in the strip where Lyle builds Phillipe's car-thing. I'd attempt to lonk it, but I've seen BBCode eat more experienced users whole, so I'm not about to venture there.
There should be such a machine as that makes noises when actions are performed that are recordings of people speaking the verbs aloud. Such as 'press' for a button and 'twist' for a knob. That would be excellent indeed.

This strip is beautifully bizarre.
Sometimes when I read Achewood I feel like I'm walking through some long white corridor with adjoining rooms filled with very mundane Dadist folks. Like, they'd be on a antiquarian bike with a stork in a small satchel, but then they would offer you a Stella and you would be totally cool with it.
